Scene 10A – The Genesis of Rhea Malhotra
Before the name Rhea Malhotra ever commanded headlines, it belonged solely to Jaipur, her birthplace — a city of history, old palaces, and intricate lanes that smelled of the spices of centuries gone by. Here, nestled within the heart of this vibrant city, the Malhotra family had flourished for generations.
Their name wasn’t merely spoken; it was reverently acknowledged. From colleges to hospitals, from ancient archives to modern courtrooms, the Malhotras were a quiet force in the city, woven into its very fabric.
At the head of this distinguished line was Justice Arvind Malhotra, a retired High Court judge whose reputation extended far beyond the legal community. His decisions were landmarks in Indian jurisprudence, studied in universities and quoted in political debates.
To the common folk, Arvindji was a beacon of justice, his words carrying weight that shaped the course of law itself. He was a man who commanded respect simply by being present. But it was not just his legal intellect that earned him reverence; it was the stoic dignity he carried, the sense that justice was an unmovable mountain he had spent his life shaping.
Beside him stood Savita Malhotra, a woman of profound elegance. Soft-spoken and graceful, Savita possessed a strength that seemed unyielding yet unseen by most. Her presence was calming, her poise impeccable.
Her beauty lay in the restraint she exuded; the quiet authority of a woman who held a household together without ever raising her voice. If Arvind was the sharp, unwavering hammer of the family, Savita was its unshakable anvil, a steady force that provided balance, grounding, and unwavering support.
Into this world of discipline, wisdom, and legacy, Rhea Malhotra was born. The younger daughter, the unexpected fire to an already perfect structure. Rhea was not one to simply follow the established path, she would create her own. From her earliest days, she was already a presence. A spark among calm waters.
As a child, Rhea did not see the world the way others did. While her older brother dutifully followed the family’s well-laid plans, excelling academically and securing a future as a respected civil servant, Rhea lingered in the background, watching, calculating, absorbing everything. Where her brother adhered to tradition, Rhea was already a rebel in spirit.
There was a particular memory from her childhood that encapsulated the essence of her early years. At seven, she had been invited to a family gathering where the usual discussions of politics, culture, and history would take place.
As the conversation flowed, Rhea found herself drawn to her uncle, a well-respected professor who had spent decades studying the works of great poets. In a quiet moment, Rhea asked him to teach her a passage from Ghalib’s ghazals, a request that initially caught him off guard.
She had always been drawn to poetry, and this moment would be a milestone that marked the beginning of her extraordinary intellectual curiosity.
